Even in a hot seller’s market, selling a home takes longer than you might think.
If you are considering selling a home, it is important to understand the timelines involved. As your Real Estate Consultant, I can help you estimate the time it takes to prepare your home, create a plan and then put together a schedule. This will help reduce your stress and make the process go more smoothly.
Here is an example of a sales schedule timeline:
Preparation: 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on what needs to be done.
Offers: In this market, if priced appropriately, 7 days to negotiate and accept an offer.
Facilitate & Coordinate: Inspections, appraisal, Escrow and closing 30-60 days.
A reasonable amount of time to prepare and sell your home is from 4-6 months. Good preparation is essential to a successful sale.
